Lots of people are running the Edelbrock IM and are happy with it, I'll be getting the Edelbrock Im for my setup. Now if i had the money to get a nice Full-race then thats what i would go with.

different int manifold give different powerbands...EB and FR manifold give a good power pand from low to high rpms while blox and skunk2 will lose a little mid but your high will be better...there are different ones that shift you pawer band around...but for FI use I would say go with EB or FR

the eldebrock and full race both use shorter runners than the skunk2 and blox...pretty sure you have the manifolds mixed up in your post. a skunk2 is barely more than a recasted stock itr manifold

yes, skunk2 manifold doesn't flow as well up high. The good news is you can fix it

The Victor X is the best bang for the buck hands down. It WILL make more power then the GE! If you wanna go better then that then its custom, full-race or AIR.

This has been covered over a billion times.

The AIR manifold isn't made anymore, so I'd rule that one out. Also, if you're having it made for you, a custom manifold will more than likely cost a lot more than the Full-Race manifold. Endyn recently released a new intake manifold based on a modified ITR core thats around the same price and according to them performs very similar to the AIR/F-R manifolds.

Victor X is a good way to go for the price, but if you're serious go with the Full-Race or give the Endyn a shot.
